St. Peter’s Basilica officially opened its sacred spaces and brought new illumination to the largest religious structure in the world. It features new LED lighting systems by the German manufacturer Osram in The Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, and the Sala Regia in the Vatican Museum.

The project also included relighting St. Peter’s Square and the Basilica.
